Court outlaws German Weather Service's free weather app
WetterOnline has won its case against Germany's national weather service. The company sued the service over the anti-competitive nature of its free weather forecast app.
The German Weather Service (DWD) will no longer be allowed to provide general weather forecasts in a free mobile phone app after a federal court ruled in favor of a private firm on Thursday.
[...] the national meteorological service will only be permitted to offer extreme weather warnings for free and that a DWD app offering general weather forecasts must contain advertisements or be purchased by users.
<sarcasm>
No national weather service could ever make a profit by giving away weather information for free.

Brexit happened because German courts enforce German laws in Germany?
